COORDINATION PROCEDURES:

a. Deviations from procedures outlined in this agreement may be made only after completion of coordination, which defines responsibility in each case.

b. An automated radar handoff constitutes approval for aircraft climbing/descending to the altitude in the data block. Controllers are still responsible for pointouts if the aircraft will climb/descend through another controller’s stratum.

c. Inappropriate Altitude For Direction Of Flight (IAFDOF) must be coordinated, except for aircraft departing the Pensacola Terminal Area assigned an interim altitude of FL230.

d. Transponder codes may be changed without coordination on initial contact.

e. Aircraft routed via a STAR shall not be cleared past the transition of the arrival.

f. Anytime ZHU or ZJX is split, all controllers must be notified how the center is being split.
